TO PREPARE
Review the Learning Resources on identifying research problems and developing research questions.
Consider the problem that you would like to study in your proposed research, the gap in knowledge that it addresses, and how it connects to social work practice.
Share the problem you are focusing on in your research. What would you like to know about this topic; that is, what is a gap in knowledge that your research on the topic could fill? Based on the identified problem, develop and share your research question here. How does this problem relate to practice?
